摘要
Absorptive properties of surface-structured silicon prepared by femtosecond laser pulses irradiating in SF6 or N-2 are measured in a wide wavelength range of 0.3-16.0 mu m. The SF6-prepared surface-structured silicon shows enhanced light absorptance up to 80% or more in the entire measured wavelength range. The absorptance for N-2-prepared surface-structured silicon in the wavelength range of 9-14 mu m is similar to that of a SF6-prepared sample, although it decreases to about 30% in the wavelength range of 2-7 mu m. Light absorption varies with the height and density of the spikes formed on silicon surfaces.
